      As per usual you don't understand the circumstances under which we were dragged into this nonsense. None of the Brits wanted to be there as the "Arab" problem has been raging for millennia and there will NEVER be an answer. If you think you could do better negotiating boarders, have at it! If they were so upset they can cut religion out of the equation and throw dice. Funny how they have yet again turned to us for help - why do you think that is? It won't be happening but still...

White Jews have less than 35 % Isralite DNA . White Saphardic Jews have less than 40% Israelite DNA. Even Mirahi Jews have maximum 60 % Israelite DNA . Palestine Christians have 80 % Israelite DNA . Palestine Muslims have 82 % Israelite DNA. Samaritans have 94 % non Juda , Israelite DNA. Palestininans are Indiginous people .
      More over, Arabs are 100 % Semitic people and are cousins to Israelites.
      But Palestinans DNA showed their history connected with Cananites. You think white Slavic Mleikowski and German Weiss have 3500 years Middle East connection than Palestinans only because their ancesters converted Judaism. You will claim also Chinese Jews as Israrlites? You dont know different from Levents and Arabs . Sudanians , Somalians and Mauritanians black people too speak Arabic , while Egyptians, Lebanese , Iraqi , Algerians, Tuniseans, Morrocans , Libyans too speak Arabic . According to you all Arabic speaking Arabized nations came from Arabia ? You dont know even that Palestinans Arabic dialect is different from Saudi Arabians dielects and Palestinans life style is different from Gulf Arabs ..
      Scientists didnt find any historical neither archiological Exhodus evidence in Egypt & in Palestine. Chosen nation bullshit is a supremacist propaganda . Your so call 3500 years bullshit is not a history but an unproven mythical story . Any way Palestinanians have more percentage of Israelite DNA than White Jews . Most white Jews have zero Israelite DNA . That is why Israel banned to do DNA test .
      And keep Quite . You think You are the owner of Palestinans land ? Palestine Muslims have been living there 1400 years . That is much longer that white European Christians live in America , South Africa and Australia .

      Palestine 1920: The Other Side of the Palestinian Story | Al Jazeera World Documentary /QUCeQt8zg5o Al Jazeera English
      “A land without a people, and a people without a land” is how the relationship between Palestine and the Jewish people was described by Christian writers in the 1800s. And the 20th-century history of the Middle East has largely been written through these eyes.
      But this film from Al Jazeera Arabic looks at Palestine from a different angle. It hears from historians and witness accounts, and features archive documents that show Palestine as a thriving province of Greater Syria and the Ottoman Empire at the dawn of the 20th century.
      The evidence suggests that its cities had a developing trade and commercial sector, growing infrastructure, and embryonic culture that would enable it to meet the challenges of the decades ahead.
      However, the political ramifications of the Balfour Declaration, San Remo Conference and British Mandate set in motion a series of events that profoundly affected this vibrant, fledgeling society and led to the events of 1948 and beyond.

      I suspect they weren't looking that far ahead. The reports I've looked at agree that in about 1919 some religious-minded Brits thought it'd be a neat idea to put zionist jews in the "holy" land. This was worked out between 1919 and 1947 with minor fights. The brits promised the zionists land that they had no business promising and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forcibly removed from their lands. In 1948, when all hell broke loose the brits left and told the league of nations to sort it out. And here we are in 2024 with NOTHING sorted. This, in a nutshell, is what my studies have revealed.@@peterfreeman1585

      The history is far more complicated. One might assume the Arabs (as they were termed as Palestine was not a nation nor a people, but an area) occupied less than 5% of the land and the Jews occupied a similar area. The land was largely unoccupied, as they are no natural resources there. Hamas would have people believe "Palestinians" occupied the entire area and Jews displaced them. In fact, Jews raised money and bought many Palestinian plots, though the price paid is indeed good for debate.

      @@A190xx I just checked the statistics; You can google it too: Based on a '1922 census of Palestine' conducted by the British, the total population of Palestine was 78% Muslims, 11% Jews, 9% Christians and 9,474 others. Since1920, British forces actively started to help the Zionist movement for mass immigration of jewish people to the region (along with lots of other immoral unfair ugly things and oppressions they did against the native Palestinian people) till we reach the even uglier year of 1948.
      It's actually not that complicated (despite Zionists trying to tell you so), not for people who do their research to know the truth and has a moral compass. It seems it has been a strategic plan by Zionists to take the whole region eventually and expel native people. And they killed lots of people and manipulated and corrupted many things since then in my view. It was very immoral and is still very immoral.

    The pull out of Great Britain from Palestine and the subsequent creation of Israel, was due in no small part, to pressure exerted by US president Harry S. Truman. Britain was at that time entirely dependent on US finance to rebuild its economy and it didn't take much to persuade the country to relinquish responsibility in what had become a bloody conflict abroad. The US President was the first world leader to officially recognize Israel as a legitimate Jewish state on May 14, 1948, only eleven minutes after its creation.

      Not a "problem" - the film tells it as it was. There was no Jordan (created 1946, a large chunk of Palestine), or Syria (created 1945). Iraq and Saudi Arabia were created in 1932. And as far as the subject of this film goes, all the above were united as Arabs in their opposition to any partition proposal allowing Israel to exist even as a tiny sliver of land where the most of the Jewish population was (and had been for millenia).

    Good Documentary of a a very complicated historical period. I visited Israel in April 2023 (I was in Tel Aviv as a tourist when some of rockets hit nearby). I went to some of the museums when their and they discussed basically everything you just mentioned. I spoke to a Christian Palestinian who worked in Israel but live in Bethlehem. Who had a very pragmatic view of the circumstances. She mentioned that all Palestinians had the same label on them (as in all are terrorists) and that life was very difficult for them and her family had lived in Bethlehem (west bank) for many generations and lived in peace with there Muslims cousins. There is unfortunately a lot of BIAS in the news about the conflict, either focused on the Jewish or the Palestinian point of view. One thing I learned is I am not in a position to make an opinion about this! Its a mess lets be honest and It upsets me when people die because of ideologies. I do wish a peaceful settlement would occur, but don't know how. But killing innocents isn't right.

      Unfortunate that the film glosses over the UN participation plan of 1947and states incorrectly that "the plan was abandoned". According to Wikipedia, "The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a proposal by the United Nations, which recommended a partition of Mandatory Palestine at the end of the British Mandate. On 29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly adopted the Plan as Resolution 181 (II). The resolution recommended the creation of independent Arab and Jewish States linked economically and a Special International Regime for the city of Jerusalem and its surroundings. Additionally, the film neglects to mention that the Israelis accepted the partition plan and that the Arabs did not. Furthermore, the film overlooks the fact that when the British Mandate for Palestine expired on May 14, 1948, and the Jewish residents of Palestine declared a state in their portion, allocated in the UN Resolution, 5 Arab states, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq attacked the nascent state of Israel, leading to creation of Arab refugees. Had the 5 Arab states not attacked Israel, those Arabs who fled could have remained in their homes and like the more than 2 million Israeli Arabs today, be living in peace with their Jewish neighbors.

    Unfortunate that the film glosses over the UN participation plan of 1947and states incorrectly that "the plan was abandoned". According to Wikipedia, "The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a proposal by the United Nations, which recommended a partition of Mandatory Palestine at the end of the British Mandate. On 29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly adopted the Plan as Resolution 181 (II). The resolution recommended the creation of independent Arab and Jewish States linked economically and a Special International Regime for the city of Jerusalem and its surroundings. Additionally, the film neglects to mention that the Israelis accepted the partition plan and that the Arabs did not. Furthermore, the film overlooks the fact that when the British Mandate for Palestine expired on May 14, 1948, and the Jewish residents of Palestine declared a state in their portion, allocated in the UN Resolution, 5 Arab states, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq attacked the nascent state of Israel, leading to creation of Arab refugees. Had the 5 Arab states not attacked Israel, those Arabs who fled could have remained in their homes and like the more than 2 million Israeli Arabs today, be living in peace with their Jewish neighbors.

      There were no Palestinians in Israel 200 years ago; Arabs began to appear in Israel after Zionist Jews began to settle there. Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol - 1848.
      From a letter to Zhukovsky (02/28/1850),
      in which Gogol describes his impressions of his pilgrimage to Palestine:
      Noting that in ancient times it was “possibly” a flourishing country, Gogol writes: “but now, when it is rare, rare to see five or six olive trees along the entire slope of the mountain, the color of their land is as grayish and dusty as the most the rocks of the mountains, when only a thin layer of moss and patchy patches of grass turn green in the middle of this naked, uneven field of stones, and after some five or six hours of travel you come across an Arab’s hut somewhere stuck to the mountain, more like a clay pot, a stove , an animal burrow than a human dwelling - how can you recognize the land of milk and honey in such a place? Imagine, in the midst of such desolation, Jerusalem, Bethlehem and all the eastern cities, looking like randomly stacked piles of stones and bricks; imagine the Jordan, skinny in the middle of the naked mountainous surroundings, here and there overshadowed by small willow bushes; imagine in the midst of such desolation at the feet of Jerusalem the valley of Jehoshaphat with several stones and grottoes, as if the tombs of the kings of Judah.”
      “Really, I don’t know what I can tell you about Palestine that would lead you to beneficial thoughts and encourage you to take up your pen and your poem with inspiration.”
      Mark Twain - 1867.
      "Simps Abroad"
      Palestine can rightfully be considered a queen among lands whose very appearance causes despondency. Its mountains are barren and ugly, their colors are dull. The valleys are unsightly deserts with stunted vegetation, which emanates melancholy and squalor. The Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee sleepily numb among the deserted mountains and plains, where there is nothing to rest the eye on - there is nothing bright or striking here, there are no gentle landscapes dormant in a purple haze or dotted with the shadows of clouds floating in the sky. All cutting outlines, all lines are clear; there is no perspective here - in the distance everything is just as devoid of charm as up close. A joyless, gloomy and mournful land.
      However, some of its shreds and shreds must be beautiful in the bloom of spring - all the more beautiful since they are surrounded on all sides by a bare desert, which has no end or edge. I would very much like to see the banks of the Jordan in the spring, and Shechem too, and Ezdrilon, and Aijalon, and the shores of the Sea of Galilee - but even in the spring they would all seem like just toy gardens, planted far from each other in the endless desert.
      Palestine is a deserted and unsightly land... Palestine no longer belongs to our everyday life; prosaic world. It is given over to poetry and legends - it is a land of dreams

The Jews are home. Their are the remaining Canaanites of the area.. 50% DNA that existed in the area 10,000 yrs before. They left eygpt and created the religion as a clear historic record of their lands. They are not interested in war...Jews have never declared war on anyone or invaded lands.. they engaged in a population exchange of 850,000 ancestral Jews in the 'arab lands '.. they were Arab Jews. With 250,000 Arabs in the area.. but the neighbours of isreal' didn't grant citizenship to the refugees.. instead they militarised them into an anti-Semitic army.. for 3 generations. ..while isreal' managed to bring in the local ousted populus. Not all Jews in Israel are from European ww2 survivors.. not all are Zionists that spend 51 yrs buying land and building their plot by plot.. and not all irsealis are Jewish.
      Let's just put things into perspective..
      Does anyone really want to give a raping, torturing, beheading, child abusing, rabid sick phychopath peoples that blow themselves up in order to case mass carnage.. a land that is part of isreal'?? No. These people are Jordanians.. they can go and join their others in their homelands.
      No one forced them to fight of the wrong side of a world war.. they lost...and as with all loosing lands.. they underwent some foreign rule until the land could be returned without being a continuing threat.. and if the threat comes from (Al Afghani) twisted Afghan ideology.. then all the more reason to not give them more land and power in a shit show of iran-pakistan-afghanistan-qatar 'islam brotherhood'.. they are enslaving women and expected to 'breed as many child as humanly possible from any women.. in order to fill the world with Islam.. it's sick.. they gang rape to death.. they behead.. they kill gays.. they don't allow women even into their church.. it's all just barbaric narcissistic phychopath dredges of human behaviour.. men at their worst!

It is a repeat performance of something the Brits excelled at, namely attempting to colonize people in a country that they had no knowledge of and generally making a huge mess of things before leaving without a care in the world. We had to forcefully kick you out of our country twice before you finally got the hint.

      Arabs and Jews not being able to live side by side in Palestine (or anywhere else for that matter) is no real mystery. It's also no real mystery that the influx of Jewish immigrants to Palestine after WW1 and the creation of Israel has caused decades of conflict between Arabs and Jews. The Norman conquest of Britain facilitated several hundred years of intermittent conflict between France and Britain......

      Can I suggest you also find other additional sources. I find this video lacking. Also, bear in mind that the Brits were not in Palestine as "colonisers". They were given the role of protectorate by the League of Nations at the end of WW1. The aim was to help the now defeated land, once belonging to the Ottoman Empire, to become self governing. The protectorate was meant to be temporary. There's nothing straightforward in the making of Palestine. WW2 followed hot on the heels of WW1. We all know of the diaspora of Jews and anti-Semitism in Russia and Europe. So much was thrown into the mix and the mix was more complicated than the video suggests. Happy history trawling and good luck in trying to get to "the truth".

    An EXCELLENT video.... excellent presentation. A very studious overview from which viewers who are interested can start their own researching.
    Unfortunately, quite a number of Arab intellectuals of today IGNORE the extremely IMPORTANT FACT you made at 3:37 and 11:48
    That the 'promise of a homeland run by Zionists' was visualized as being IN/ inside Palestine.... not all of Palestine.
    4:47 NOTICE THE WORDING that Arab intellectuals commonly mis-translate, purposely or not; the document clearly states; "establishment IN Palestine" , as in inside on Palestine. Nothing is mentioned of any intention or promise to make ALL of Palestine a Zionist run homeland.
    The Balfour Declaration in reality it was not all-encompassing is imagined by those trying to fit square pegs into round holes agendas.
    The foundation of the region's turmoils was the creation of the British Palestine Mandate itself.
    > On this point, in my opinion, it's irrelevant to try and believe the British Empire officials and their claims of what they intended. They achieved ruling 25% of the world through gunboat diplomacy, ruthlessness and mostly divide and conquer negotiation duplicity (lying on an epic world changing scale ) -> ie, what can be referred to as PERFIDIOUS ALBION.
    4:47 - One thing needs to be pointed out here that is extremely important. The very misleading notion that all Zionists were united under one banner.
    In the decades prior to 1917, there existed in fact, various factions of Zionists; some were Left wing, others socialists, some Conservative, etc.... And importantly, MOST diaspora Jews worldwide were not interested in Zionism. Among the Zionists, various factions had differing ideas on where to establish a Homeland; locations included INSIDE South America, and Africa for example.
    5:30 - It can be also claimed that some Christians (and many evangelists these days) are Zionists in their beliefs of the agenda pertaining to Palestine as the idealized Homeland*. It should be mentioned also that for decades before 1917, in small numbers, there were Zionists from East Europe were already migrating and settling in Palestine.
    7:00 - This is what triggered a faction of Palestinian Jews who were living well enough* with their Arab neighbours in Ottoman-rule, to be forever against British-Zionism at that time.
    8:00 - I mean seriously; British officials preaching ethics and morale codes at the time is a farce; they invaded and controlled 25% of the world by that time by implementing the exact opposite of respecting conquered peoples' rights. It's so important to grasp this fact.....
    9:40 - Extremely important; the roots of extremist Arab nationalism grew here; because of the hideous but not surprising British government lie; Right HERE it started.
    10:10 - One can safely assume, that though British duplicity had raised tensions in Palestine, most of the locals in each community still got along for the moment, but British idiocy did not remedy the situation.
    One historical fact not mentioned here, is that the first of several British temporary blockages of Jewish migration to Palestine occurred at this time.
    12:20 - Extremely important fact is missed here; In Germany, a Zionist neo-conservative faction led by Georg KARESKI was very busy acting in duplicity; they operated to scuttle the 1933 international Jewish diaspora led-boycott against Nazi Germany in exchange for attaining the power to collaborate with the Nazi SS to influence / intimidate / bully Germany's population of Jewish heritage ( 540,000 , less than half a percent of Germany's population ) to be obliged to migrate to Palestine.
    This was the Munich Transfer Agreement; it was actually a 3-way collaboration between the Nazis looking to expel Jews, the Kareski Zionists who wanted power in organizing a Palestine-Zionist agenda, and the BRITISH who were going to get financial benefits; this angered local indigenous Palestinian Jews as they were ignored and watching there once stable lifestyles continue to worsen - the Far Right Betar Zionists incoming from Eastern Europe were also disgusted in seeing Zionists helping Nazis persecute Germany's population - especially in policies to segregate them which included stripping away they national identity and rights throughout the 1930s.
    This scheme failed miserably; simply because most German Jews were not interested in Zionism, and Germany was their home; only around 80,000 migrated to Palestine.
    Of the remainder, just over 200k fled/ attempted to flee Germany. and the remaining 200K + that stayed, few would survive the Holocaust.
    THIS influx is what spurred the 1936 revolt it can be argued. Ask most Arabs and intellectuals what the 1933 Munich Transfer Agreement was, only a rare few know about it, even though this event is no secret. Naturally the Zionists and the British never want to mention this collaboration with the Nazis. The extreme off-shoots of the Betar Zionists did end up later assassinating a couple of the nazi-collaborating Kareski Zionists ( ie, Kastner)
    13:00 - This is what REAL British foreign policy amounted to; if they weren't acknowledged as the big boss, their reprisals were overwhelming and merciless.... including its long centuries-old global tradition of exacting 'Collective punishment'
    14:44 - Blocking of Jewish migration did not start at this point; the 1939 block was the third in 20 years by the British.
    16:00 - It was from the Betar Zionists that terrorist squads emerged; but they were in action just prior to WW2 as well.

      "and the remaining 200K + that stayed, few would survive the Holocaust."
      The vast majority of Jews went back to Germany to the UNRRA camps where they got new identification and started a new life in Germany. (See the Jewish Almanac for more info.)
      UNRRA established 1941, was a jewish organization under "Joint" which is the cover for all Jewish organizations. Felix M. Warburg (banker family) was the leader. One of the members was Henry Morgenthau Jr., finance minister of USA and author of how to destroy Germany after the war.

    Brilliant video and it helped me understand my childhood in Cairo in the 1946 to 1949 timeframe. I think that post the chaos in Palestine where the Brits just walked away and left it to the UN my Dad was part of trying to make sure the handover in Egypt from King Farouk to a new Republic under President Colonel Nasser went as smoothly as possible.
    Mind you even the best laid plans can go wrong, especially where Geopolitics are involved! So it wasn't many years before 1956 came along with the Suez ownership/control issue and that was effectively the real end of British and French power in the whole "Middle East" Region.
    Looking at it 70 plus years on from a 2024 perspective of an Octogenarian (which may include President Biden), it is all happening again with control of the Red Sea short cut trade route. The Arabs getting bombed this time are in Yemen instead of Egypt.
    There is a lesson to be learned which is that ships, especially if they are full of oil, are super vulnerable. All it takes to stop one is a cardboard drone in the hands of a few people. In Ukraine right now thousands of simple people are being shown how to arm and control drones. How to wage war has become a totally new "Ball Game".
    Diplomacy and win-win Scenarios are possible but how much sensible negotiation and with whom can go on in an Election Year is certainly in doubt. So look out for lots of posturing and let's hope that proportional responses are seen for what they are which is" No solution yet" escalation.
    As probably all of us have experienced during our school days. Who did something wrong and who get's the blame are often not the same thing. If the innocent are blamed there will be long term feelings of injustice and unintended consequences from the good guys and also the bad guys who got away with it and will probably do it again!
